About Us

“What is The Armpit?”

The Armpit has been pro wrestling’s least trusted news source since 2002. We provide hard-hitting news, interactive contributions from readers, and exclusive feature articles and interviews that aim to inform and entertain. These include:

Backstage Fights: The original, online collection of the most detailed, blow-by-blow descriptions of backstage fights in pro wrestling on the entire internet. 90% of the information you see online about any backstage fights originally came from this website.

“Is The Armpit on social media?”

Yes, we’re on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest under the handle ArmpitWP. You can also friend us on Facebook under the name Pit WP. To ensure you never miss new articles, please follow us or enter your email in the “Join the Armpit Army” box found in our sidebar and at the bottom of each article on this website.

“How often is the site updated?”

There is no set schedule. It depends on the amount of time we have to work on it during any given week, which varies. The Armpit was dormant for several years, but was re-launched full time in 2016.

“Were you really on the Howard Stern Show?”

Yes, our writing was featured on two different episodes. When Eric the Actor/Midget did a wrestling quiz, we wrote the questions that Howard read on the air. When Fred the Elephant Boy did a wrestling quiz and got his body hair waxed, we wrote most (but not all) of the questions for that. Both shows aired in 2008, and this website got a plug on the Wrap-up Show for each of those days. We’ve also provided some background research for Howard when he has had pro wrestlers or MMA fighters on the show, most notably Chris Kanyon. We’ve often been consulted when Howard has those kinds of guests on the show, since we have a lot of dirt and interesting stories.

“Who writes the articles on The Armpit?”

Unless otherwise noted, all content is written by myself, the Wrestling Professor.

“Where are the old Armpit wrestling quizzes?”

“Is Jerry Sags affiliated with The Armpit?”

No. A reader once told us that The Armpit reminded him of the Nasty Boys because of the armpit spot they did in their matches. Apparently he wasn’t the only one who felt that way. Another reader then came to us with a private photograph of Jerry Sags, giving us permission to use it. That picture is now used in the “Join the Armpit Army” subscription box.
